World’s smallest reptile Meet Brookesia nana, an extremely tiny species of chameleon from the rainforests of northern Madagascar. It is stated to be the world’s smallest male reptile, which can fit right on your fingertip!

Measuring just half an inch (13.5 millimetres) from snout to cloaca, the fully grown male is the smallest adult reptile ever described. In fact, the male B. nana measured even smaller than his female counterpart, which had a length of 0.75 inches (19.2 mm) from snout to cloaca.

Musycsyn said the copy of Doctor Dolittle stood out because it bore markings from the Sydney Public Library. This one in particular had the old library card from 1939, Musycsyn said. And I just thought that was interesting, because it was the same week that the library had abolished their fines.
